Horizon - Failed Logon Logs as Cleartext

[Toast15]

I'm having an issue with VMware Horizon 7 that when a user fails a logon due to a bad password, Windows is generating a security log (Event 4625) with "Logon type: 8" which means it is being sent as Cleartext.

Is there a way to prevent it from being sent as Cleartext, Logon type 8 on a failed logon?

Are you using Horizon Client to log on to the broker? or you are logging to Horizon 7 administrator UI with the bad password? Please give more information about the issue, thanks!

Hi, thank you for the response.

These logs are occurring on both the Horizon client or web-based client, as a user or admin.

Thanks! Please help to attach the screenshots/logs here to help understand the problem.

This same issue started happening to us last winter after patching of the Horizon server.  What is the solution?  (updated note:  this issue may be fixed in Horizon 8).
